Description

Part of #403. Follow-up to #445. We want to move from page-based versioning to block-based.

Tasks:

  • Figure out whether / how we want to archive existing versioned content.
  • #452

Steps

  1. Add new "version highlight" blocks/content to existing "Latest" pages, for the last 1-2 releases
  2. Set up redirects system that sets a version picker to the target version and hides corresponding blocks for new versions.
    a. Simpler alternative: redirect all requests for unknown locales to english-latest
  3. Delete/archive existing pages for old versions
